Welcome home, neighbor.
Just moved to Reardan, or thinking about it? Take a breath. This is your friendly, one-stop guide to getting settled: what to set up, who to call, and how to find your footing in a small town that is easy to love.
A few Washington basics
You have 30 days
New residents have about 30 days to get a Washington driver license and register their vehicles. Start at the Department of Licensing.
Washington votes by mail
Every registered voter gets a ballot in the mail. Register or update your address at VoteWA and it comes to you.
No state income tax
Washington has no personal state income tax. A retail sales tax applies to most purchases, so budget for that instead.
The first-weeks checklist
A simple, ordered path from moving day to feeling at home. Tap each box to tick it off as you go. Nothing here is complicated, and Reardan Town Hall can point you the rest of the way.

People wave here
Small-town friendliness is real. A wave from a passing truck, a chat at the store, a neighbor lending a hand. Lean into it; it is one of the best parts of living here.
Mind the speed limit
Broadway is Highway 2, and the limit drops as you enter town. Locals will tell you: the posted 30 is watched closely. Slow down through Reardan, in more ways than one.
The city is close
You get quiet country living with Spokane’s shopping, medical care, airport, and pro sports only about 30 minutes east. Stock up on trips to town, and enjoy the best of both.
Winters mean planning
Snow, ice, and open-country wind are part of the deal. Keep an emergency kit in the car, watch the forecast, and check road conditions before winter drives on US-2.
Glad you’re here.
Reardan has welcomed newcomers for well over a century, from railroad families to today’s commuters and remote workers who want a quieter life. However you found your way here, we hope this guide helps you feel at home a little faster. Welcome to the neighborhood.
